These past few years, though, there are tales told, in the dark, with hushed voice, often with a flashlight pointed at one’s face. They are terrifying stories, tales of heart-break, of dreams dashed, and ruined fortunes, of brave men and women driven into bankruptcy and business closure. Are these tales true or only legends? Is the myth of the little BBQ joint being forced to close rumor or is it fact? And if it did close, just who would force a mom and pop operation into ruin? Is it the same force now trying to destroy Mike Carrafa and close Six Gun City?
Did Larry Talvy actually push Matt Carrafa and slam a video camera in his face when he discovered the Incident at Six Gun City was being taped? Why did he push away a second video? And why did he arrest a 63-year-old bystander and force him to spend the night in jail?
Inquiring minds want to know – but this inquiring mind has been told to, well, mind its own business.
A quick restaurant review:
This correspondent, who is not exactly following the demands of the Chamber officer who told her to leave things alone and not publicize them, has only dined at Six Gun City once. It’s just not my cup of tea. On the other hand, aside from the Lamplighter, owned by my friend Sylvia (great salsa), I also like the Longhorn, located at the other end of Fifth Street.
The Longhorn has one of the best hot dogs this hot dog lover has ever consumed. The BBQ beef is quite good. And they have this legendary deep dish apple pie thingie that is to die for! Several months ago I attended a banquet catered by the Longhorn. It was one of the most professional and best catering jobs I’ve experienced.
Part V and the conclusion of this series is coming soon! Stay tuned.
